Stencil and example body

Here's a stencil and an example stitched from denim cut from it.

Note - the template is asymmetric in this case. This needs to be considered when using material that has a different pattern on each side (e.g. a facing side, and backing side).If you just cut out two pieces, and stitch together this will mean the face is not showing on one side.To get round this, after drawing out one piece on your cloth, simply turn the stencil over before drawing out the next piece.This will give two pieces that will sew 2 together with faces out on both sides. In this case the body uses plain cloth, so it doesn't matter!
